Objective: Fenestrated and branched endovascular devices are increasingly used for complex aortic diseases, and despite the challenging nature of these procedures, early experiences from pioneering centers have been encouraging. The objectives of this retrospective study were to report our experience of intraoperative adverse events (IOAEs) during fenestrated and branched stent grafting and to analyze the impact on clinical outcomes.
Objective: Aortoiliac tortuosity is often cited subjectively as a causative factor in iliac limb complications after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR); however, evidence on this subject is poor. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of stent grafting on aortoiliac tortuosity and to explore the role of the tortuosity index (TI) as a predictor of iliac limb complications after EVAR.
Objective: The impact of any intervention on renal function is a crucial determinant of outcome. Open (OR) and endovascular (EVAR) abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair can affect renal function during the short and longer term. This study aimed to directly compare the effect of those different types of aneurysm repair during a period of 2 years.
Background: Leg varicose veins are associated with pelvic venous reflux in approximately 20% of women who have had children. However, most venous units do not routinely look for pelvic venous reflux or treat it. We aimed to investigate what proportion of patients with recurrent varicose veins and a history of open surgery have pelvic venous reflux as a major contributing cause of their recurrence.
Background: This is an analysis of the hemodynamic response of post-thrombotic legs to a sustained thigh compression and quick-release maneuver. This is an integral part of the investigation of venous occlusion plethysmography that has been promoted as a way of assessing the venous return. The aim was to quantify the venous volume changes in patients after deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and to determine whether refluxing legs differed from obstructed legs.
Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides continuous noninvasive monitoring of changes in the levels of oxygenated hemoglobin (O2Hb) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HHb) in tissues. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in calf muscle O2Hb and HHb levels during standing and exercise in the follow-up of deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
Background: Bedside inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) placement by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance has previously been shown to be a safe and effective technique, especially for critically ill patients, with initial experience of a prospectively implemented algorithm. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of IVUS-guided filter placement in critically ill patients with experience now extending out 5 years from implementation.
Background: Intervention on the great saphenous vein (GSV) has traditionally been limited to the above-knee (AK-GSV) segment for fear of saphenous neuralgia in spite of incompetence demonstrated in the below-knee (BK-GSV) segment. Residual symptoms and need for reintervention are reported to result in nearly half the patients if the refluxing BK-GSV is ignored. Experience with endovenous ablation of the BK-GSV at the time of AK-GSV treatment is sparsely reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of endovenous ablation of the refluxing BK-GSV.
Objective: Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of great (GSV) and small saphenous vein (SSV) chronic insufficiency with 1470-nm diode laser and radial fiber yields good short-term results. The aim of this study was to assess its efficacy after at least 12 months of follow-up.
Objective: To retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and time-to-hemostasis of antegrade femoral access closure using the ExoSeal vascular closure device (VCD).
Background: Arterial insufficiency is rarely caused by isolated infrarenal aortic occlusive lesions. Endovascular treatment options include plain balloon angioplasty and bare metal stent placement. In this study the feasibility and efficacy of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) covered balloon expandable stents were evaluated.
Objective: To assess the incidence and outcome of graft limb occlusions after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a high volume single centre. To quantify iliac artery tortuosity in patients with AAA and correlate this with limb occlusion.
Objectives: To determine if fast cardiac stimulation (FCS) allows a better induced hypotension and precision of landing compared to nitrate derivative/sodium nitroprusside (ND/SNP) by intravenous way during endovasculaire repair of the thoracic aorta (TEVAR).
Objectives: Historically used for the treatment of the reflux of the greater saphenous vein because of neurological risks, RF was recently proposed in the treatment of the LSV reflux. The aim of this study was to compare the immediate and short-term results of a group of patients operated by crossectomy and stripping of the LSV with a group of patients treated by RF.
Background: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is being used with increasing frequency for the treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs), although conflicting results have been reported concerning perioperative mortality. The aim of our study was to evaluate potential difference in mortality rates between EVAR and open surgical repair (OSR) and identify independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality in rAAAs. This study also aimed to evaluate the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) in predicting in-hospital mortality. A time-trend analysis of EVAR for ruptured AAAs was also performed.
